A major website crash and thousand of angry online shoppers didn't get in the way of Target's 3rd quarter profits.

Earlier this week the retailer reported their profits rose 3.7% to $555 million compared to $535 million a year ago.

Target's chairman and president Gregg Steinhafel said in a statement they're "very pleased" with the results and are confident they have "the right strategy and team in place to drive continued strong performance this holiday season and well into the future."

Earlier this year there was a MAYJAH backlash against Target after the public discovered they were donating to anti-gay politicians.

In August, CEO Gregg Steinhafel released a statement apologizing for their decision, adding:

"…later this fall, Target will take a leadership role in bringing together a group of companies and partner organizations for a dialogue focused on diversity and inclusion in the workplace, including GLBT issues."

Apparently his so called apology were just words on paper because they're STILL doing it!

Filings with the FEC show Target has donated thousands of dollars to these politicians since August:

Spencer Bachus — voted to ban same-sex adoptions

David Camp — supported a ban on same-sex marriage and voted against protecting gays from job discrimination

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
